A guest post written by Kelly Allen. In 2018 I decided to try out Veganuary. I look back and see how far this monthly challenge has come. Now you can pop to virtually any shop and pick up a few vegan food items, but it can still feel very daunting when faced with the prospect of so many companies jumping …
Best Vegan Chilli Sin Carne Recipe
I’ve been trying to perfect this recipe for ages, and I think I have finally managed it! I love a good veggie chilli, but sometimes either the colour of the dish (without the meat) or the taste of it can be pretty boring. Well, I like exciting and colourful food. This has become a fortnightly standard favourite for me in …
Vegan Leek And Potato Soup
I do like soups, especially when the weather is cold. They are also a good way to cook up all sorts of veggies, turning them into delicious and nutritious meal with some lovely bread. Potato and leek soup always has been a firm favourite of mine, like everything potato – just gimme all the potato! But, the traditional recipe calls …
French Apricot Frangipane Tart Recipe
Back at the beginning of October, I managed to snap up about 3 kilograms of fresh apricot at the local market, clearly the last of the lasts of the season and since they were dirt cheap, I assumed they were clearly surplus. It’s odd that they were still available in October in London, but I was happy to get my …
Vegan Apple And Plum Crumble With Oats Recipe
This recipe came to me as I was trying to use up a few apples and plums sitting in the fruit bowl – and on one eating them. The apples were a little sour, they were not the sweetest at all but in this recipe it worked out well as the little sourness of the apples went hand in hand …
Beetroot and Orange Salad With Chickpeas (Vegan Recipe)
I ended up making this salad as In have received lots of fresh beetroots with my wonky veg delivery – which I love though, it’s great to save all those veggies being thrown away just because they are surplus or wonky. I also enjoy getting lots of different and sometimes unusual ingredients because I just love making use of them …
Vegan Gingerbread Cookies Recipe
I love making gingerbread man. Or gingerbread cookies in general. The kids love them, always happy to help and join in, especially when it comes to cutting and icing. I have a festive, Halloween-themes pumpkin – gingerbread recipe up already as well as a chocolate gingerbread recipe. I also very much like the traditional, German Lebkuchen, which is the European …
Vegan Sweet Potato – Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
These were another vegan treat lot I baked for the Extinction Rebellion protesters last week. (I made this Best Vegan Banana Bread last week) I wanted to bake some sort of a real chocolatey treat, but still nutritious and good to have when hungry and running low on energy. Of course they are not gooey but super soft and fluffy instead. …
Couscous Stuffed Peppers With Pumpkin and Feta Recipe
I always loved stuffed peppers, I don’t even know why I haven’t posted this recipe earlier! I make this quite often as even though it looks quite like a crowdpleaser, this meal is super simple. And healthy! They’re super nutritious, packed with minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins C, B-6, and A. And they are quite low in calories too – if …
How To Stay Healthy In Flu-Season With VSL#3 Plus A Smoothie Recipe
This is a sponsored post. The autumn and winter season for us (families with young children) is an endless battle with colds, flus and other nasty germs. It’s impossible to avoid them as the children keep picking up one after the other in school and in nursery. Even if they get flu vaccinations (which they do) it seems like we’re …
